Title: Tyler, a New Peach from Virginia
Author: G.D. Oberle
Citation
Abstract:
The 'Tyler' peach, most recent introduction
from the peach breeding program
under way at Virginia Polytechnic
Institute and State University, was
named and released for public use by
Director C.T. Wilson of the Research
Division of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
The official release was made
on August 31, 1970 at which time the
National Peach Breeders Association
met at Blacksburg for their annual
meeting and review of peach breeding
programs.
Tyler was developed by crossing
'Rio Oso Gem' with pollen from an unnamed
peach seedling that resulted
from crossing 'Shippers Late Red' with
'Sunhigh' in 1949. The cross that produced
'Tyler' was made in 1955. This
cross also provided the seedling that
was named 'Monroe' in 1966.
